Oak Grove Bell Schedule

Oak Grove School serves students from Early Childhood through 8th grade in a single building. The school day starts at 8:20 AM and ends at 3:20 PM for all K–8 students. Because we share one lunchroom across the entire building, lunch and recess times are staggered by grade — the tables below show what to expect for your student.
